TOY FOR FORMING SOAP-BUBBLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 430,999, dated June 24,1890.

Application filed March 26, 1890.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN LATscHAR, a citizen of the United States,residing at New Brunswick in the county of Middlesex and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys forForming Soap-Bubblesg and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en- 1oable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and toletters of reference marked thereon, which form part of thisspecification.

I 5 The object of this invention is to enable a collection or pluralityof soap-bubbles to be formed simultaneously, and which, when blown to asufficiently large size, will unite and form a connected group ofbubbles very 2o pleasing to the eye.

The invention consists in the arrangements and combinations of parts,substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finally embodied inthe clauses of the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters indicatecorresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figures 1 and 2 areelevations taken from diiferent points of View. Fig. 3 is a bottom planof the 0 same. Figs. i and 5 are detail views of a wind-wheel which maybe employed in connection with the bubble-forming parts of the device,and Fig. 6. is a section taken 011 line as.

In said drawings, 11 indicates a small hollow body, preferably oftubular section, to one side or end of which the ends of small branchingpipes or tubes 1) I) Z) are secured. The flaring ends, or the ends whichlie opposite the said body a, are provided with bowls c 0, adapted to bedipped into the soapy water or suds from which the bubbles are formed,and form a film which being enlarged by blowing through the branchingtubes produces the desired bubble. The said bowls lie in or approximatea given plane in position, so that they may be dipped into the waterSerial No. 34:5,356. (No model.)

simultaneously. The hollow body a also receives a tubular mouth-piece d,by which the breath of the person using the device is conveyed to thebody a, and from thence to the branching tubes. Said body may also beprovided with a handle It for holding the device in position, and a plugor stopper 9 for closing an opening to the chamber in the hollow body,by means of which said opening the interior of said body may be cleansedfrom time to time. The said plug g may provide bearings for a windwheelf, and the tubular mouth-piece may be provided with a branch tube e,adapted to direct the breath onto the wings of said wheel, and thuscause the latter to revolve. Thus the player may by a single puif of thebreath form a plurality of bubbles and revolve the wind-wheel, as willbe apparent.

The handle h and the wind-wheel f and tube e may be dispensed with.

WVhat I claim as new is- 1. The bubble-forming toy herein described,combining a mouth-tube and a group or plurality of tubes 1) connectedtherewith, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The bubble-forming toy herein described, combining with a tubularmouth-piece branch tubes 1) 1), each having a bowl at the end thereof,substantially as set forth.

3. The bubble-forming toy herein described, combining with the hollowbody a a mouthpiece d and flaring branch tubes 1) I), each having a bowl0, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4:. In combination with the hollow body a, the branches b 0, providedwith bowls, a mouth-tube, and a plug g, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my handthis 22d day of March, 1890.

CHRISTIAN LATSOHAR.
